Completed W1 R2 tonight. Was a bit better, legs are stiff, still got niggles but struggling on.

I do feel better and it feels good to be doing something .

Hi, I'm on week 2 run 2 today , and yes !

Most people try to go too fast !

I certainly found slowing down helps !

Good luck !

I've just finished week 1. I think I've started off too quickly. No idea on pace.

I went too fast and started uphill in my first run which was 3 weeks ago. My hip hurt so much During and after the run I haven’t been able to run since, but I’ve walked for miles & miles instead. I will resume my week 1 running once confidence back. Slowly is definitely the way to go!
